Many Muslims
appear to believe that in seeking such bans they are only asking what Christians or those
of other religious backgrounds would require in their countries, should their holy books
be criticized. However if we look into the matter we see that there are many books which
criticize Christianity, Judaism, Hinduism and in fact all the religions of the world at
least as vehemently as the books that Muslims feel so offended about for criticizing
Islam.
Many of the most famous intellectuals of Europe have written scathing remarks on the
church, the Bible or Christ himself. Such figures include great writes and philosophers of
various countries over several centuries including Voltaire, Goethe, Nietzsche, Bertrand
Russell, Sigmund Freud and J.Paul Sartre, to mention but a very view.
